What's that server running? Thats a bit too much for Active Directory..LOL


But anyways, get a GPU with more then 1 GB of dedicated ram.. imo.
Something like this:

I can tell you this from personal experience with my 800D, your GPU temps are gonna be HIGH!! No airflow for them what so ever. Now if you dont mind doing a little customization it will be ok. My top 570 would push 84*C with light gaming and no overclocking. The case has 3 140mm fans. One right beside the PSU, One blowing across the HDD cage, and one located at the rear for a vent. Thats it.

heh. My case has hardly any room at all now that I installed my H80. That thing was bigger than I thought. Almost couldn't get my 8-pin power connector plugged back into the mobo :icon_razz:

My GPU is running a tad hotter now, but I could use the 120mm fan I had on the rear and put it on one of the top vents I guess.

thanks dude!

now i have thought about going with the 2gb version, it would aid at higher resolution but based on how much money i have its either 2x 2gb 6950 or 3x 1gb 6950, looking at some benchmarks crossfire really shines with 3 cards at high res.

its gotta have enough power to run BF3 on max settings on 5760x1080 at at least 30fps. i think i may look into another case, maybe a cube to fit a couple 120.3 rads, but i still like how clean that case is. goal on the cpu is going to be 5GHZ 24/7 stable, if they can hit 6.5 on a engineering sample on water, it should be possible.

With a little modding you can fit 2- 3x120mm rads in the 800D. Or you can mod the top a little and fit a 4x120 rad up there and a 3x120 rad in the bottom.

Or theres my favorite case, http://www.caselabs-store.com/magnum-m10-case/ with the 85mm tall ventilated top cover. You can fit lots of rads in there!
